# Polarsys transparent mirroring
This system uses the Eclipse-style mirroring system to automatically redirect http requests to mirrors.
## About transparent mirroring
A number of projects simply link to download.$FORGENAME which costs bandwidth to the Eclipse Foundation, and provides a slow
download experience for our users. Using a MariaDB backend, the system/mir_trend.php script (invoked every 2h by cron) crawls all
the mirrors and gauges their performance and accuracy. Only those mirrors deemed fast enough qualify for transparent redirects.
